Thanks for the video made me smile, I just spent 8 mins watching someone pour 2 tins of stuff in a petrol tank. Then say I have no idea if it will work but it might. The power of you tube

George, Mannol Benzin ester additive 9950 is good for use in direct injection petrol engines to clean injectors and have many other advantages.

I used Techron on my e46 320d a couple of years ago as car had been stored off road for 3 years. Reason being it's the one BMW supply except just with BMW label on, so I bought Techron, as it was also purported to be the best fuel system cleaner at least 2 years ago anyway. When I get my E90 320d on the road after being off road for 2 or 3 years being stored, I'll used the same in that also for same reason. Good video again George, Cheers

I haven't got a flap on my fuel tank, its a 118d, do you no if its meant to have one? If it is i guess its in the bottom of the fuel tank

@saulgoodman7495 3 жыл бұрын

I guess you are right about it making a very minimal difference if any as i had an oil additive knocking about in my shed which i was going to use but my BMW handbook states not to use any oil additives. I spoke to dealership about this and they said just use good quality oil and fuel and you wont ever need these additives.

@mrsweete9065 3 жыл бұрын

Really expensive though over a long time isn't it, I'm fairly sure an additive every now and again will work good and cost far less than constant premium fuel. Oil additives in my opinion is a no go, either fix the underlying issue or leave as the additives can create issues of there own like dislodging sludge and blocking the tiny oil passages. (my opinion) I personally would chuck additive in every now and again and once every year or two ultrasonically clean the injectors, on the M57n2 they're quite quick and easy to come out.

I drive a Mercedes C32 AMG with over 200k Km's ..I bought it without any services history and it was parked for 6 year ..the fuel consumption was 12/100 km's on the highway , i used a bottle of Mannol fuel injectior cleaner (pushed the engine to High RPM like 5 RPM for 10 mins on the highway) now I am getting 10.8L/100kms ....but if the car is driving daily I don't think it will be that effective.

Well no because this is for petrol cars. I’ve used wynns turbo cleaner and wynns diesel extreme cleaner before and it made my car run much more smoothly and stopped the turbo stutter I was getting. And at 50k miles it would benefit your car.

Cleaner loosen shit inside filter then block injector. Mainly then causing leaky injector. Then problems start up and burn off. Got problems?… just renew the injectors. Oh, service BMW more often than stated. I don’t know why I bother like but hey ho! If you driving BMW DERV engine use regular non-supermarket derv and add a little cetane booster at 25% stated. Change oil every 6k and I promise you issues with fuel system, turbo and likes will be minimal. Especially for those twin turbos derv engines. 335d I.e. I’m trying to avoid using engine designation here to reduce confusion.
